ANNUAL
REPORT
DEAR SUPPORTERS
2
The Schools Fund is both a resource and a catalyst for teachers and students. Every year
we look for new ways to expand our support for teaching and student opportunity, and
we hear from teachers every year that our support has opened new doors for them and
for their students.
These pages share how we’ve grown our support for teachers and students this year
through increased community engagement and funding larger grants that impact
learning outcomes more broadly at the grade, school, or across all schools. You’ll read
about our fundraising with the Berkeley Half Marathon (page 9), our growing Teacher
Summer Fellowship program (page 7), our long-term support for Music Education (page
10), and more.
We are particularly proud of the growth in our Strategic Impact Grants in the 2013-14
school year. With our fundraising campaign for Math and Science we were able to
“seed” some exciting projects, which you’ll read about on pages 6 and 7. We also made
use of these funds to support teachers through big curriculum changes.
We thank you for helping us inspire and empower an extraordinary public education for
Berkeley schoolchildren, and we hope you will continue to support us.
Sincerely,
Erin Rhoades

Across all grade levels, classroom grants address the full range of support necessary for
student learning from socio-emotional support to literacy, math and science, arts education,
and enrichment. For teachers, classroom grants are cited as one of the biggest benefits to
teaching in Berkeley schools.
PRESCHOOLS: $16,062 | 22 grants
Gardening, drumming, puppets, playground swings,
and cooking and food tasting are among the many
ways we supported preschool teachers and students
this year. We funded a new playhouse for Hopkins
Preschool, and Nicole Reif explains, “The house was a
catalyst for students, staff, and parents to dedicate
more time and energy to our outdoor spaces.“
Levenson’s Mobile Video Lab grant put students on
the other side of the camera. She writes,“Video is a
powerful medium for this age and students begin to
share their voices with the videos.”At Willard, Robert
McCarthy’s grant project, “Let’s Get Some STEM at
Willard” paid for an electronic prototyping platform
for programming and designing robots, which all
6th graders engaged with and will be used again
this year.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS: $113,946 | 165 grants
HIGH SCHOOLS: $41,785 | 42 grants
In addition to a wide variety of grants supporting
classroom learning, field trips are a substantial
portion of the Elementary school grants. “You
helped our class spread peace” is how one 5th
grader felt about the Mosaic Project field trip that we
supported for 5th graders at Washington and
Thousand Oaks schools. “It is hard to adequately
express the importance of opportunities such as this
trip to Chabot for so many of my students,” writes
Kristine Fowler of BAM. Other field trips were to the
Marin Headlands, Fort Ross, a State Capitol overnight
in Sacramento, and visits to Bay Area museums.
Ben Sanoff’s grant, the AP Access Fund, allowed 36
students to complete rigorous AP course work and
gave them the supports and incentives to realize
success on the exams. Almost every 9th grader in
biology at BHS got to participate in Glenn Wolkenfeld’s grant, Science Inquiry: Labeling GMO Foods.
He writes, “It was a phenomenally successful
learning science laboratory experience.” At BTA,
John Fike brought Music Education and Art Enrichment to engage his students, and Margaret Agwobo’s grant aimed to increase student involvement at
the school through student leadership activites.
MIDDLE SCHOOLS: $39,163 | 49 grants
“It is a beautiful thing to see students highly
motivated to learn about other cultures and places,”
writes Mikko Jokela about his documentary film
library grant. King Middle School Principal Janet

STRATEGIC IMPACTS
EQUALITY AND EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE
FROM PRESCHOOL TO HIGH SCHOOL
The Schools Fund Strategic Impact grants
support educational excellence and equity
across Berkeley schools with larger grants
at the grade, school, or District level. For
over ten years, these grants have
supported ongoing programs led by
community organizations such as
Community Resources for Science (CRS),
Music in the Schools, Berkeley Repertory
Theatre, and WriterCoach Connection.
Recently, our Strategic Impact grants
have grown to include support for teacher
professional development, new approaches to language instruction, and literacy
initiatives, to name a few. They sometimes “seed” programs that are adopted
by the District.
In the 2013-14 school year, our Strategic
Impact grants focused on math and
science. These grants included over
$45,000 for instructional support for the
transition to the Math Common Core
State Standards and over $45,000
supporting STEM programs. Here are a
few highlights:

PARTNERSHIP FOR STEM IN
MIDDLE SCHOOLS
UC Biology Professor, Mary Wildermuth,
initiated the Partnership for STEM in
Middle Schools in coordination with CRS
and the Schools Fund in 2013. The pilot
project, “Be A Scientist,” will begin at
King in fall 2014, bringing UC faculty
and graduate students as volunteers into
7th grade classes to guide each student
in developing and exploring a scientific
question, aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards. During the pilot
at King, CRS will supplement existing
science instruction at Willard and Longfellow with visits from professional
scientists. In 2016, pending continued
funding, “Be A Scientist” will be at all
three middle schools. Our funding for the
Partnership for STEM is matched with a
grant from the Chancellor's Community
Partnership Fund.
SUPER SCIENCE SATURDAYS
Super Science Saturdays created hands-on
science and math learning opportunities
for over 100 elementary students
performing below grade level in math or
science. Students took field trips to the
Exploratorium and the Academy of
Sciences and had Lawrence Hall of
Science staff conducting on-site lessons
and experiments in addition to math,
science, and computer lessons by project
staff. The program was designed by staff
at Rosa Parks as a pilot project and
exceeded their expectations for participa-

The Schools Fund was pleased to have the
opportunity to match a donation from an
anonymous local business in order to make
Super Science Saturdays a reality.
Super Science Saturdays instructor Roxann
Reyes explains, “Processes that allow
students to make mistakes and mess up in
the end allow them to be more creative and
more adventurous, think outside the box,
and be more daring. We get an entire day
where we are able to really hone in on the
kids’ creativity and to encourage them to
think differently about science and math
than they have in the past.”
FRACTIONS: BRIDGE TO GRADE 5
COMMON CORE
In the transition to the Common Core math
standards, K-5 Math Coach Lori MacDonald
identified a need for 4th and 5th graders to
have targeted assistance with fractions. The
grant made materials for intervention and
support available to all 4th and 5th graders
in the District. “Fractions: Bridge to Grade 5
Common Core,” was funded with money
raised by members of the Schools Fund
Berkeley Half Marathon team.

The Summer 2014 awardees were Yusef
Auletta (LeConte), Nabila Massoumi
(LeConte), Achim Dangerfield (BTA), John
Becker (BHS), Shannon Erby (BHS),
Maggie Knutson (John Muir), and Lila
Wilkinson (Malcolm X). These fellows
traveled to Spain, Morocco, Northern
Europe, and Costa Rica as well as
participated in local workshops and
projects, studying languages, science,
climate change policies, US history, and
math practice standards.
MAGGIE KNUTSON: John Muir
Maggie traveled to Tamarindo and Playa
Avellanas, Costa Rica for 4 weeks,
improving her Spanish, immersing herself
in the culture, and studying Latin
American history.
“This will help communication in a
practical sense, and also builds trust. In an
educational setting, teachers are
gatekeepers and our actions with our
stakeholders can either invite our
constituents in or leave them out.
Speaking the language of some of our
more underserved students invites them
in...I will also bring a renewed sense of
what it feels like to struggle as a
learner...I gained a deeper sense of
empathy, which caused me to reflect on
my role as an educator and what I can do
when I see students shutting down.”
JOHN BECKER: Berkeley High
John traveled to Western and Northern
Europe to research different public
narratives and policies around climate
change, access to clean water, and
genetically modified organisms (GMO).
“My fellowship experience was spectacular!! The three weeks I spent traveling...was one of the most incredible trips I
have ever taken in my life. I learned a lot,
encountered vastly different attitudes and
policies towards adapting to climate
change, and was once again astonished
at how easily parts of Europe implement
progressive social policies that we have
thus far been unable to enact here in the
United States. I plan on spending at least
1-2 days debriefing and analyzing the
trip, using [my students’] own knowledge
of climate change and firsthand news
materials from around the United States
as counterpoint.”

BERKELEY SCHOOLS VOLUNTEERS
8
We are thankful to have over 1,400 amazing volunteers in schools every year. These dedicated
individuals offer their time, talent, and enthusiasm to classrooms, after school programs, and
kitchen and gardening programs. Here are just a few of their stories:
SUZANNE RYAN: Oxford & Thousand Oaks |
Volunteer
Suzanne Ryan has been volunteering with Berkeley
Schools Volunteers (BSV) since 2007, working in
classrooms at Oxford, King Middle, and Thousand
Oaks. “I volunteer with the Berkeley Schools
[Volunteers] because I believe there is a big need.
One need is to work with young children to help
them catch up to reading and math at grade level,”
she writes. Suzanne, who began her career “working with youth and then spent most of it working
with senior citizens,” feels it was a natural path for
her to begin this type of volunteering when she
retired. “I have a very varied and fun week to look
forward to.”
Suzanne is currently working with the Quick Reads
program at Oxford, which “uses short non-fiction
passages, and I supplement the reading with a fun
library book on the subject.” She also helps out in
the library at Thousand Oaks. She explains, “Shelving books is time-consuming and the library tech
really appreciates my efforts. Although I work only 1
1/4 hours per week, I can shelve a lot of books in
that time or put book covers on new books.”
Suzanne always develops connections with the
students and staff she works with. “Whenever I
return to Oxford in the fall, I see children from
previous years in math or reading who greet me
warmly like an old friend. Often the student I work
with invites me to attend a Halloween parade,
school play, or other dance performance that they
might be part of.” After years of volunteering in the
Berkeley schools, Suzanne knows that not only does it
keep her active and involved in the community, but
her work benefits others as well. “Volunteering helps
students, who are already behind in second or third
grade, learn that math and reading can be interesting
and fun too.”
RACHEL CHODOROW-REICH: Berkeley High |
English and History Teacher, English Learners
“I have volunteers come into my classroom for so
many reasons. I think it’s helpful for young people to
be exposed to lots of different adults, to see mirrors
of themselves and the potential for their future
through different people,” Rachel explains. In a
classroom of up to 31 students, Rachel knows there’s
only one of her. Having other adults in the classroom
helps with classroom management and gives students
the attention they need. She says, “Students will say
to me, ‘I learn best one-on-one’; they feel more
comfortable asking questions in a 1:1 situation than
in front of the whole class. When I have volunteers in
the classroom, they can help answer questions for
students and help students stay focused.”
In her six years teaching at BHS, Rachel has hosted
volunteers every year, “many of whom have gone on
to become teachers.” Having done a lot of volunteering both during college and after, Rachel knows how
rewarding the experience can be for volunteers,
“ I don’t know how I would have
made it through my 6 years of teaching
at Berkeley High without volunteers ”
- RACHEL CHODOROW-REICH

BERKELEY HALF MARATHON
1,455 VOLUNTEERS
especially those wishing to pursue careers in
education: “it’s such a gift to be able to
work with students.” The arrangement
works well for teachers too. From serving as
a role model for students to assisting with
student focus and classroom management,
from help with lesson plans to surprise
baked goods, Rachel believes volunteers
make all the difference in a classroom: “You
never know what volunteers will bring to
your classroom! I can’t say enough about
how volunteers have made my life easier.”

Berkeley hosted its first ever Half Marathon
this year, and the Berkeley Public Schools
Fund was chosen to be one of the race’s
official charitable beneficiaries.
Team Schools Fund was comprised of 80
runners representing schools across
Berkeley. Our team raised over $30,000 for
Berkeley public schools, which went to
support our Campaign for Math & Science
and Classroom Grants programs.
Runners were able to designate a specific
school for which to run, and 50% of the
money they raised was directed back to that
school’s PTA.
MADAN KUMAR: Runner, Washington
Washington parent Madan Kumar was
Team Schools Fund’s top fundraiser for
2013, and his passion for public education
fueled his fundraising and running.
Madan explains,
“I firmly believe in public education being
the foundation of our community and
believe it is the best method of creating
an equitable and just future. We are all in
this together, and we have to participate,
not just in funding, but in fostering/creating/encouraging an environment of
curiosity, compassion, empathy, joy,
optimism, and sheer beauty in learning.
I'm busy taking classes, after getting what
I thought was a terminal degree, on
education because I love it... I want all
our kids to have a sense that learning is
an ongoing and joyful process.”
YASI NOURI MASSIH: Runner, Cragmont
Schools Fund Board Chair and parent Yasi
Nouri Massih ran the Berkeley Half
Marathon on behalf of Cragmont. When
asked why she ran for our team, she
writes,
“As a parent and product of the Berkeley
public schools myself, as well as a Board
member, I have many reasons to want to
raise money and awareness for the
Schools Fund. The Berkeley public schools
are truly amazing in teaching our kids not
only on an academic level, but also on a
social level. I choose to run in the
Berkeley Half Marathon for our teachers
and community!”

FROM THE BEGINNING
MUSIC EDUCATION
THE SCHOOLS FUND CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXPOSURE TO
MUSIC THAT FEW PUBLIC STUDENTS WOULD OTHERWISE ENJOY—THANKS TO
THE SUSTAINED SUPPORT AND GENEROSITY OF OUR COMMUNITY OF DONORS
grow as a musician.
For the high school music program,
purchasing large instruments like the
bassoon and tuba would not be possible
without the support of local business,
Another Planet Entertainment (APE). For
ten years, APE’s contribution to the
Schools Fund has made it possible for the
Concert Band at Berkeley High to have a
fully articulated section of large brass
instruments. These instruments are
otherwise beyond the budget of the music
program, and APE’s contribution makes a
tremendous difference.
Music education in our public schools is a
source of community pride in Berkeley.
The Berkeley Public Schools Fund is proud
to have supported this legacy from our
beginnings, including in 1994-95 when
the Schools Fund (then Berkeley Public
Education Foundation) raised a year of
“bridge funding” to keep music in the
elementary schools. Every year we help
maintain one of the great benefits of
public education in Berkeley, by dedicating
a large percentage of funding to music
education from preschool to high school.
10
For over twenty years, we have been
supporting the Berkeley Symphony’s
nationally-recognized Music in the Schools
program. Music in the Schools instills an
appreciation for music with individual
elementary classroom visits by Symphony
musicians; an introductory school-wide
Symphony performance; and a final
concert in which every class participates as
the Symphony’s “featured ensemble.”
Music in the Schools supplements the
District’s elementary school music
program, which begins with the recorder
for every third grader followed by the
student’s choice of a wind, string, or
percussion instrument, which is provided
by the District for bi-weekly lessons in 4th
and 5th grade. In middle school, thanks
to individual donors who support the
School Fund’s Joffe/Boatwright Fund, we
are able to offer scholarships for private
lessons to low-income students identified
by school music teachers as having skill
and interest, to strengthen their musical
education and expand opportunities to
From preschool drumming sessions to
scholarships for Cazadero Middle School
Music Camp to improving the acoustics
in the BHS band practice room, the
Schools Fund creates opportunities for
exposure to music that few public
students would otherwise enjoy—thanks
to the sustained support and generosity of
our community of donors.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATION
Great public schools are made by you! Today, as always in our 30+ year history, 100% of our funding
comes from you: community members wishing to make Berkeley schools the best they can be. To all our
2013-2014 donors, we give a huge THANK YOU!

SPRING LUNCHEON
Great public schools are made by committed teachers, staff, and community organizations. This year we were pleased to honor members from our local education community.
LAWRENCE BERKELEY
NATIONAL LABORATORY
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT & EDUCATION
For ten years, every 5th grader
in the District has taken a field
trip to the LBNL for the Berkeley
Lab Adventure Zone in Elementary Science (BLAZES) program,
which includes hands-on
activities, interactions with Lab
scientists, and a tour of Lab
research facilities. Workforce
Development & Education
promotes equal access to
scientific and technical careers
for all students.
COMMUNITY RESOURCES
FOR SCIENCE
Since 1997, CRS and the
Schools Fund have partnered to
strengthen science education in
Berkeley elementary schools
through connecting teachers
with scientists, museums,
enrichments providers, professional develpoment programs,
and personalized support.
Founded by Berkeley public
school parents, CRS is making a
difference in science education
for our students.
HAZELLE FORTICH
Early Childhood Program
Coordinator; District Preschools
Administrator, teacher, coach,
and advocate, Hazelle has
devoted her creativity, training,
and tenacity to strengthening
early childhood education in our
schools. “It all happens in the
first five years,” Hazelle says.
“Having a high-quality
preschool environment that
supports children, teachers,
families, and a meaningiful
curriculum—as we do in
BUSD— is what it’s all about.”
GLENN WOLKENFELD
Science Teacher, Berkeley High School
Biology Teacher and Science Department co-leader, Glenn has been teaching for over 20 years,
interspersed with other work and travel experiences that inform his engaging approach to teaching high
school science. He’s best known, maybe somewhat famous, for his Science Songs on topics ranging
from Food Chains to Osmosis.

“I want all our kids to have a sense that
learning is an ongoing and joyful process.”
